Understanding features

- Given sample contains maximum missing values in sex feature as compared to others. There is 5.5% of data missing and can be ignored or imputed based on other variables
- Chinstarp has 0 missing values whereas gentoo and adelie do have missing values. Adelie contributes to nearly 3% missing values and gentoo contributes 2.5% of the missing values
- Sample consists of of uneven species distribution with more number of adelie followed by chinstrap and then gentoo
- Adelie is the most common species that can be found in different islands
- Gentoo species are mainly found on Biscoe island and Chinstrap on Dream island.
- Sample consists of equal distribtuion of male and female among adelie and chinstarp species whereas in gentoo, females are dominated by males
- Gentoo penguins have higher body mass, flipper length and bill length, but lower bill depth
- Adelie and Chinstrap having similar body mass and bill depth but demonstrate very different bill length. On an average , a Chinstrap penguin's bill length will be 10mm longer than one of an Adelie's
- Data reveales that penguins have higher body mass and shorter flipper length than most flight birds.
- Penguins have more body fat to prevent heat loss on land and in the sea while their powerful flippers make them very accomplished swimmers
- Based on the above mentioned facts, Gentoo species have higher insulation and are great swimmers as compared to Adelie and Chinstrap which have similar body mass and flipper length
- Across all species, females consistently demonstrate lower body mass, bill length, bill depth and flipper length as compared to males
- Flipper length, bill_length and bill_depth contribute the most to identifying species
**Adelie** : "I have small flippers, short and wide beak and i am slim" .
**Gentoo** : "I have large flippers, long and thin beak and i am fatty" .
**Chinstrap** : "I have small flipper, long and wide beak and i am slim"
